Derek DeStefanGUEST
Um, and hopefully connect all the dots and that's what I'm trying to do here.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
And so the, the Order of the Eastern Star you see, I mean...
Derek DeStefanGUEST
And this, these symbols are ancient symbols.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
I mean, there's nothing bad about a star and there's nothing bad about putting a star upside down except the people that make it bad [chuckles].

[chuckles] There's nothing bad about the Nazi symbol except for the people that made it a bad symbol.
Alondra MarkmanGUEST
It's more the latter, unfortunately.
Alondra MarkmanGUEST
Although these are not groups that are as coherent as it may sound.
Alondra MarkmanGUEST
They're always attacking each other and betraying each other and selling each other out and trying to gain more status with their bosses.
Alondra MarkmanGUEST
So it's complicated.
Alondra MarkmanGUEST
It's very complicated.
Alondra MarkmanGUEST
If there is a coherent faction on the planet working for good, I'm not aware of them.
Alondra MarkmanGUEST
All the human groups that I'm aware of on the planet serve evil.
Alondra MarkmanGUEST
However, we are being helped by groups outside of the planet who are positive, and some of those are human beings.

Paul Blake SmithGUEST
And he was a hardcore Freemason.
Paul Blake SmithGUEST
His sons were Freemasons and his wife was an Eastern Star, which is like the ladies auxiliary version.
Paul Blake SmithGUEST
So handpicked cabinet, almost everyone in FDR's immediate circle in Washington were Freemasons, including the vice president, Henry Wallace, who was dumped for another Freemason, Harry Truman, in just a few years.
Paul Blake SmithGUEST
And it's interesting to note that President Roosevelt did not even support Harry Truman for the Senate job in 1940.
MelissaHOST
I know Carissa and her husband just went a couple months ago and she really enjoyed it.
MelissaHOST
So now our next adventure, I would love to get into the women's, I think they're called the Eastern Star.
MelissaHOST
I would love to see like what those facilities look like.
MelissaHOST
I'm sure they're a lot smaller and they probably don't have the big, obviously the big buildings like the men did.

But as long as we can help be the anchors and, uh, support to a lot of those that are struggling through it, it's gonna help, um, and hopefully connect all the dots, and that's what I'm trying to do here.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
And so the, the Order of the Eastern Star, you see, I mean-- And this, these symbols are ancient symbols.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
I mean, there's nothing bad about a star, and there's nothing bad about putting a star upside down except the people that make it bad.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
[chuckles] Like there's nothing bad about the Nazi symbol except for the people that made it a bad symbol.
Richard SpenceGUEST
Everybody in that side of the family were Freemasons or they were.
Richard SpenceGUEST
And if they were women, they're in the Eastern Star because the American Freemasonry created a women's auxiliary.
Richard SpenceGUEST
So as a kid, I was kind of exposed to that somewhat.
Richard SpenceGUEST
I can remember being taken by my grandfather into a lodge.
